Mysteries of the Unseen World

Mr Whitaker narrates and does a superlative job. The film is about light, objects, size, waves and motion that we cannot ordinarily see. The film explains it in a way we can understand, shows it and its all stunning. The photography is beautiful and the 3D has lots of depth (although nothing will pop out of the screen) and the 5D surround sound is put to great use. There isn't a story of course as Its a documentary but I was in awe for the entire 40 minutes. Hense the only issue. This DVD is a a bit too short at 40 minutes. Otherwise this is an excellent choice to show off you 3D video and 5.1 sound system and get a little education to boot. Highly recommended.

I had rented this (streaming) in 3D from somewhere, and was blown away by how well done it is.First, the 3D effect is awesome! It looks beautiful!The information, and the delivery of the information in the documentary are both superb.I had never thought about what the world would look like if I could see all the invisible bands of light. Or, what if you could see "slow enough" to notice a flower bloom, or "fast" enough to watch a bullet shatter a light bulb and how the glass breaks up.What if you could see small enough to see that even ants have smaller bugs on them, just as we have microscopic organisms on us.It's really a great documentary. They don't even waste time preaching on how humans are going to destroy the earth blah blah blah.

The film may be short, but it's filled with amazing visuals that were no easy task to produce. Also included is a good behind the scenes 'making of' video, showing the microscopes/machines and talented people. I purchased this to see it in 3D and was not disappointed. It was made and produced with 3D in mind and the visuals were beautiful to see come alive. Even if you view it without 3D, you will be amazed. The Blu-ray disc contains both the 3D + 2D versions and a basic DVD version is disc two. Definitely worth the purchase and education of seeing what truly is an otherwise unseen world.

Howdy;I received it today and just finished watching in 3D on a 49" LG UHD TV with 5.1 surround sound. I will leave the review of the program to the other reviewer. They have done a great job with it. This is for the "3D and High Def Presentation". The 3D is very lifelike and has great depth and several OOS effects (watch out for the owl). Some of the scenes might even get you to move away from the screen... But that won't help much. ;-} The picture is clear and colors are natural thru out. Don't forget, Mr. Whitaker did a great job as narrator.All in all, this is one of my favorite 3D discs. I do recommend very highly to anyone interested in the UNSEEN WORLD or the world of 3D.L8R daze...

I really like the content of this show. It clearly depicts the things around us which are unnoticeable and the possibilities of using the information we learn from seeing things (that are too fast, too small, et al) we don't see.The picture quality is very clear with really good 3D. There are some scenes that really come at you. Actually, I wouldn't recommend this show to some younger viewers since there are a couple of really graphic scenes showing [high speed] decompositions of a rodent, strawberries (gross) and mold and mushroom growths.I'm happy to have this National Geographic show in my 3D DVD collection. I'm sure I will watch it again and again and probably learn something new every time.

This is one of my daughter's favourite movies. She just thinks it is so cool that there is so much going on around us that we don't even know.Really uses the 3D effects well, too, so worth the additional cost up from 2D.

Wow, it is one of the best examples of stunning 3D effects. Several pop out images blew me away. I'm not happy with the fact that it appears the discs weren't. Both discs contained small scratches and finger prints. The shrink wrap was not the original. However the disc did play OK. I didn't take off any points for this because the video production wasn't not to blame.I ask the seller to replace the scratched disc with a new copy copy.

In this "Unseen World" short movie, the spotlight is on making the hidden visible, not much on the dangers of various radiations.Always a pleasure to see Forest Whitaker's acting, or, in this case, hear his narration.Terrific microscopic, electron (false color) microscope, infrared, slow-mo, and time lapse work. Rivales the work of the BBC nature series camera operators.Best seen with 3-D systems because of the excellent, dynamic stereoscopic imagry.DemianSweet Corn Productions

Awesome!!!

great national geographic movie - worth to see

If you are one of the few out there that still have a 3D t.v., this is a must have for your collection. You will enjoy this documentary as you feel immersed in the stunning visuals and 3D effects. You either feel like you can step into your television or what's on you screen just came into you living room. Truly one of the best (or the best) 3D movies I have. Awesome for the family...including kids. They'll really enjoy it. My kids were 6 & 9 and they enjoyed it some much they couldn't wait to watch it again.Although the 3D effects make you feel glad you bought, and kept, that 3D t.v., what you learn is so interesting that you pay attention through the whole documentary. Awesome combination of very interesting content and outstanding 3D effects. I thought I price was a bit steep for a 40 min documentary but took a risk. No regrets with it. You won't have any either. I only wish it was 20 mins longer.The 3D effects blows IMAX Under the Sea 3D, out of the water.
